we can unlock this misery!"
[/font][/center]we can unlock this misery!"
it's all about me.
LIKES. baseball and american history, shakespeare, animals, kids, trains and clocks
DISLIKES. ignorance, anger, negativity, confrontation, violent television and/or movies, red apples, england's history, and doctors/hospitals
STRENGTHS. memorization, his ability, his optimism, his patience, his paternal nature, public speaking and his intelligence
WEAKNESSES. his shy personality, cooking, his temper (though rare, when he gets mad, he's really mad), his general passive nature, his lack of humor
HABITS/QUIRKS. shiloh's worse habit is probably the fact that he corrects people. 'actually, it's-' is like his catch phrase, only he doesn't have the admiring fanbase to back it up. as far as quirks, most notably, he cleans when he's emotional. he also turns the tab on his sodas so that it's sideways. why? he just always has since he was young, so he does now. then it was mostly so that his friends knew it was his drink (he didn't want to share)
FEARS. losing his job, losing silas, *daughter*, or everette, students that manipulate fire and being burned
SECRETS. he won't tell his kids that he wasn't the reason for the divorce because he does feel like he's to blame. and he won't tell him that the thing that made him 'fall out of love' with his mother was the fact that she had *daughter*. he loved his little girl, but he resented his wife.
FULL PERSONALITY. shiloh is quiet- not one for many words or for drawing attention to himself, particularly out of the classroom. he prefers staying below the radar. he's very reserved, very introverted. wild parties, chaotic situations, overactive children, dangerous stunts and the like all seem to make him very uncomfortable. he is not particularly daring or brave. no, rather, he's predictable, stable, and constant- never one for spontaneous actions.
shiloh is paternal and patient. he cares for others, wants to see them happy, and he avoids overreactions and confrontation at all costs- even going so far as to seem void of emotion at times. most of the time he seems to have a calm attitude about him. a sort of confidence in himself and in the world around him. rarely will he yell, and rarely will he say anything he'll regret later (unless, of course, sly is doing something silly. silas pushes his buttons). it's easier not to give into taunting, rather than picking up the pieces after retaliation.
shiloh is very shy around strangers. he manages in classes with new students, but it terrifies him. strangers in general make him nervous. he tries to hide it, sometimes successfully but normally not.[/font]
once upon a time...
PARENTS. russel carl lyle (fifty-seven, retired), amanda terresa lyle (fifty-three, retired)
SIBLINGS. none
BIRTHPLACE. paisley, scotland
SIGNIFICANT OTHERS. his ex-wife cecilia (thirty-four, not employed)
CHILDREN. silas (seventeen, student) *daughter* (fifteen, student) and everette (fourteen, student)
PETS. not interested
GIFT(S). time manipulation
FULL HISTORY. shiloh jay lyle was born and raised in scotland, as were his ancestors before him. he had a proud history and a very loving family. as a child, he was clever and cheerful with a gift for memorization. even as a small boy, he was capable of hearing and repeating something, be it a song, commercial, or something else. he began attending school and he excelled in classes centered on lectures such as english and history. when he turned six, his power got noticed. the little boy was capable of controlling things no little boy should have been capable of controlling; the flow of time. this gave him an awful lot of confidence in himself, and a sense of control over the world that, at times, got him into trouble.
his parents took him to san diego, california for 'observation' by a 'specialist'. they did blood tests, had him show them his ability and what he could do, and they made a file on the young boy. the week spent there was the highlight of his life, particularly when he went to the ocean and watched the ships. it was what prompted him to study american culture and history later in life. after the week they returned to scotland and he was warned not to tell his teachers. three months later, he was referred to a private school in scotland for gifted children like him because he'd used his power in class. there, at the new school- paisley's very own school- he was taught for many years. at seventeen his childhood friend and a classmate at his new school, abby, got pregnant. he was ecstatic that he was going to be a father.
the son he got was frail and, it seemed, not likely to survive. it was like a roller coaster trying to take care of him, so when abby got pregnant again it felt like a stab to the heart. did she not believe his son would make it? shiloh rarely talks about his divorce, but if he's being honest, he'll tell you that's really when the two of them started growing apart. the moment she lost faith in silas, shiloh lost faith in her. he stayed with her until silas was thirteen, then he got an offer to work at a school for gifted kids and he took the offer instantly. abby didn't want to leave scotland, so he agreed to a divorce.[/font]

Buzz. Buzz.
Shiloh raised an eyebrow at the computer. No visible electricity was escaping it's casing, but he half expected it to suddenly start on fire, anyway.
Buzz. Buzz.
Tentatively, he poked at the laptop. It chimed several seconds later, as if in reply to his touch, much to his surprise. He leaned forward, noticing text on the screen.[10:13:15] sly: hey dad!
[10:13:46] sly: daad!
[10:14:03] sly: don't ignore me!
[10:20:52] You have been buzzed!
[10:22:24] You have been buzzed!
[10:22:59] sly: that bridge of communication is burning, dad. watch the smoke rise.
How odd... Well, when in Rome. He placed his fingers on the keys to compose a message, silently hoping it really was Silas (though, if it was he should be in class and not sending these messages). Five letters, a question mark, then the return key. He looked up immediately at the screen, making sure it went through alright.[10:23:38] s.lyle: Silas?
Seemed so. The next chime brought a reply. In fact, there were several in rather rapid succession.[10:23:51] sly: dad! there you are.
[10:24:29] sly: do you have any chocolate in your classroom?
[10:24:58] sly: there's this pretty girl and i kinda wanna give her something sweet, y'know.
[10:25:06] sly: still there, shiloh?
Shiloh blinked. That's what it felt like, at least. One blink and the kid had typed that much. To the request, he could only smile and bite his lip to keep from laughing aloud.[10:26:49] s.lyle: Slow down. Yeah, I have candy bars in my room if you want a few. I also have chocolate frosting and graham crackers, kiddo.
Shiloh smiled to himself, proud to remember what a five-year-old version of Silas liked as a treat.[10:27:08] sly: 'kay, i'll be there at lunch, shi.
Shiloh nodded to the screen, though Silas clearly couldn't see it, then leaned back in his chair. This was a start. A very good one at that.✘shiloh
